An Elevated Deck, Reborn in Tiki Torch

This Medina deck sits high above a backyard patio and a hot tub. We stripped off the old white wood, rebuilt the stairs, and finished it in Trex Transcend Tiki Torch with black Trex Signature railing, then wrapped every post and beam to match.

Before and After

Where They Started

A great spot that needed new life

The old wood deck had faded white railings, weathered boards, and plenty of upkeep every year. The frame underneath was still solid.

So we kept the frame, rebuilt the stairs, and gave the whole structure a clean, warm finish that looks great from the deck and from the patio below.

Wrapped Posts and Beams

Wrapped Posts and Beams

Tiki Torch fascia on every post and beam gives the patio below a clean, finished ceiling line.

Our take: An elevated deck is seen from two sides: from up top and from the patio below. Wrapping the posts and beams to match the decking is what makes this one look finished from everywhere.
Good Questions

If the frame is sound, yes. We check it in person and tell you honestly.
